UST Nursing

The University of St. Thomas Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program is a four-year academic program that incorporates the University of St. Thomas core curriculum, specific pre-nursing courses and courses in the nursing major. Nursing curriculum focuses on patient-centered nursing using a newly developed curriculum based on a construct of healing and holistic care.    

As the only Catholic nursing program based in Houston, the University of St. Thomas School of Nursing will serve as a critical asset to the nursing workforce and well-being of the community. The program will prepare graduates for initial RN licensure and entry into practice as a professional nurse and provide a foundation for graduate study in nursing.

Students must be accepted into the University to be eligible for admission to the nursing program. Students must apply for admission to the nursing major, which is offered in junior and senior years. Federal and University scholarships for nursing students will be available.

We welcome inquiries from prospective nursing students. Please complete our inquiry form to receive updates.

Call the Office of Admissions at 713-525-3500.

Meet the Director
Dr. Poldi Tschirch, Director of Nursing Program Development, assists the University of St. Thomas in re-establishing the School of Nursing.  Dr. Tschirch came to UST from the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, where she has held leadership roles in the School of Nursing, The Telehealth Center and as Director of Nursing Informatics for UTMB Hospitals and Clinics Nursing Department.

Hiring Tschirch as director was part of the University’s first phase of the three-phase startup that includes plans to raise $20 million to build and endow the School, prepare for accreditation and begin faculty and student recruitment. In phases two and three, the University plans to enroll the first class of nursing students by 2012, and hopes to dedicate a permanent life sciences facility on campus.
